DUMC KIDS
Growing together.
Welcome to DUMC Kids! We are your partner in bringing Jesus into the life of your family. We want your children, birth – 6th grade, to want to come to church and to think of it as a safe, fun place to learn about and experience God’s love, make new friends, and to just be a kid. We believe that active engagement in faith-centered activities brings all families closer in relationship with our loving God and with each other.
Come join the fun at DUMC Kids!
Our events would not be possible without the time and talents of so many wonderful individuals. Please scan or click below to sign up to volunteer at any of our 2024 spring/summer events!

Safe Sanctuaries
Safe Sanctuaries is DUMC’s program for training and doing background clearances on all staff and volunteers who work with children and youth. We are also mandated by the state of Pennsylvania to do these background checks. We take this program very seriously and aim to have 100% of our staff and volunteers checked and trained.
